Manchester United v Manchester City: squad sheets

Bragging rights have been replaced by title ambitions between the red and blue halves of Manchester but sadly for neutrals this season's fight will not go down to the wire. Manchester United, having opened up a 15-point gap over their neighbours, are cruising to a 20th championship and all City can hope for at Old Trafford is a burst of local pride. Even so, United would be wise to not get too confident and to remind themselves of last season's 6-1 derby thrashing on home turf – if they have forgotten it all. City will undoubtedly be going all out for victory once again. Dean Rudge
